Caltrops would be used more, so would ball bearings.

    Fire would be a tool for sure, guerilla warfare would be more common. We wouldn't go charging death or glory style in our adventures I don't think
    Fair enough. I went through united states army basic training in 2007, I scored well on the ASVAB (99), I took the ACT once and got a 28, scored well enough on standardized testing to get into a magnet school, etc.

    However I think in general, compared to real adventurers who are like Orcs and Dragonborn and ELVES and stuff I'd just be 10's and sometimes 8's. Like yeah I can do the football field training jump through the car tires thing alright, had pretty good PT scores, I am fairly athletic doing many sports. I just don't think I measure up to my characters on a pound for pound, toe for toe basis hahaha. I think that's the whole point of playing D&D. They're just BETTER than us. That's why its fun.
